PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

For many years old Kaiser Bill accomplished fine things for his state; we must admit, already still, that as a hustler he was great. He helped the state in every way, by every fair and unfair means; and now his thankless people say, ’Twas Kaiser Bill who spilled the beans.” Now' who remembers how he wrought, to upbuild German industries, and how he gave his mid' night thought to finding marts for German cheese? Forgotten are hfe coal tar dyes; men think but of his submarines, and daunt spirit with their cries, “You are, the guy who spilled the beans!” If Bill had dreamed no war lord stuff, he would have honored thfone and croWn; for he had done-big things enough to earn a fair and fine renown; but now he humbly saws his wood, and humbly hoes his patch of greens, while peasants say, “He is no good-:—he is the jay who sipilled the beans.” How it must gall the exiled Hun to know that busy men forget the saner things that he has done, to talk about his one fool bet! How he must weary of the game, when on his windowsill he leans, and hears the passersby exclaim, “There is the skate who spilled the beans!”

No better job work produced in this section of Indiana than that turned out by The Democrat.
